My Heart Hurts

Sigh. The Browns have officially broken my heart. Again. This team is like that bad relationship. You know its no good for you, but its all you know, and you just can't seem to walk away. You accept the heartache and pain in hopes that things will get better.

In an attempt to save the relationship, the Browns decided to spice things up last week. Try something new. Cue Brady Quinn. Many fans were hoping the hot Quinn and his rippling biceps would swoop in and the team and its fans could have the second honeymoon we've all been waiting for.

Its not to say the "romantic" gesture wasn't appreciated. It's just going to take much more to save this relationship.

What's got to go is the means-well but hasn't a clue mother-in-law. Aka Romeo Crennel. I doubt very many football fans can appreciate/understand (or at least would admit to it) the comparison of Romeo to Bunny McDougal, Charlotte's mother-in-law on Sex and the City. (...and I'm pretty sure I just lost every male reader with that reference...) but I'll continue.

Charlotte (Quinn) thought she was getting her fairy tale in her marriage to Trey (the Browns) but failed to win the approvoal of Bunny (Crennel). Bunny wanted what was best for Trey, and Trey loved his mother, but her actions always seemed to sabatoge the relationship. (Trey's performance issues didn't really help the relationship either. He could never seem to get the job done...)

Slowly, Trey started to see the truth. Bunny was particularly upset when Trey started to resist and defy her. She knew she had lost control.

Rather than bow out gracefully and accept defeat, Bunny stayed stubbornly set in her ways. Even when Trey and Charlotte knew their marriage (the season) was over, rather than take the high road, Bunny stood her ground, fighting to keep control of Trey's apartment. In the end, Charlotte won and got to keep the apartment.

So maybe there's hope. Crennel can fight all he wants, but in the end, he's going to end up out on the streets and Quinn will be left to stick around and redecorate the apartment. But we all know that this one's become quite the fixer-upper.
